A ROMANTIC STORY.
serious Ending to "A Career of Crime Inter
mingled With Love and "A Marriage

James Brown of Essex was arrested on
the poor farm of that town Friday, on the
charge of grand larceny committed at
Saratoga Springs last summer, upon re
QUESTION of Gov. Hill to Gov. Ormsbee and
was taken to Saratoga Saturday night by
{ Eief of Police B. w Blodgett of that
city. Brown, who is about IS and his son,
a man of IS years, have been in the habit
to- years of travelling over the country
and practicing professional swindling.
Their method was to go to a place well
dressed and represent that they were
wealthy, and then work the town on the
credit plan. At Saratoga last sum
mer they represented that they
wanted a carriage for the invalid wife o.
the elder Brown and obtained possession
Of phaeton and two fine harnesses. They
also secured roll of silk valued at
Sl20 and $40 worth of groceries of one of
TIE shrewdest dealers IN the city. They
then left for parts unknown. The chief
OF police advertised and learned last De-
Cember that he was at the Essex poor
farm. An indictment was procured at the
saratoga County Court last week and he
came on and secured his man.
The officer also said that the younger
Brown fell in love with young lady
Al Saratoga who would not agree to mar
y aim unless he should prove his wealth
~ furnishing her with silk dress He
Al once went to dressmaker and con
tracted with her to procure the material
and make the dress. saying that
the lady would send for it on
certain day. The day before that
date the father donned his high hat and
carried note purporting to be written
~ the young woman, but in reality by the
son, stating that she had changed her
pans and wished the dress that day. 1t
tucther added that she would call the
neXt day and settle for it. That night the
marriage took place and the young woman
accompanied the father and son in their
tjZht. The young people have crossed
Jn-O another State, but the officers are on
teeir track and hope to apprehend them

THE srANNARp MEMORIAL FUND.


Comrade DR.. Billiard of st Johnsbury,
"builded better than he knew" when at
the last meeting of the State encampment
az ST. Adams, he moved that the balance
Of the Earnshaw contribution, above S25,
be set aside as a memorial fund for II
monument to Gen. Stannard." 1t was
voted that the department commander
issue an order at once to each G. A. r..
Post in this department, that on the first
meeting after receiving the order, they
take up p collection for the Stannard
monument and forward the same to the
trustees, appointed by the last Legisla-
ture, to eXpeud the $500 appropriated by
the State-W. w. Henry, +. H. Ripley
and Theodore 5. Peck trustees-to be sed
and expended by them in connection with
the State appropriation.
There are ninety eight e.. A. r., post S
in this State and it was expected no
post would send less than five dollars.
Custer Post No. AZ Bennington did not
wait for the department order, but at
their first meeting took up Il collection
amounting to S12 %, and sent the same to
Gen. Henry at once, which was the first

FERTILIZER ANALYSES.



1t will be remembered that by the act of
the legislature, the duties of the secrcta-
ny of the board of agriculture in relation
to the anall sis of fertilizers were trans
ferred to the director of the experiment
station. Since the passage of the act
Prof w. w. Cooke, who holds the latter
position, has also been made secretary of
the board. The first report of Prof. Cooke
has just been issued. 1t appears hy the
report that, during the past year, 16 firms
have taken out licenses to sell fertilizers
in Vermont. Twenty-six licenses were
taken, a license being required for each
brand, single firm, in some cases,
taking licenses for two or more brands
The number of different brands licensed
in the two last years was 81, II more than
the number licensed in 1896, sho wing that
II brands, licensed in 1885, were with
drawn from competition in 1886 Sam
Piles of % of the 20 brands licensed last
year were analysed. No samples of one
Daring's animal fertilizer-which was
licensed, could be found in the State.
The report contains the usual explana-
tory pages designed TO make it intelligi-
bic to those not versed in chemistry The
basis upon which the valuation of fertil-
zerS is made at the station Is quite fully
explained, ami the trade value OF fertile
ing ingredients in raw materials and
chemicals for 1855 and 1886 are gwen at
the rates agreed upon by the experiment
stations OF Massachusetts, Connec icut
and New Jersey. The prices upon which
the station valuations are based are stated
to be retail prices, and about - per cent
higher than wholesale quotations The
report says These trade values repre-
sent very closely the prices at which Il
pound of nitrogen, phOsphOrlc acid and
potash in their various forms can now he
purchased for cash at retail in our large
